Updated Serial Logger (LogSer)

י"ב שבט תשס"ז - January 30, 2007

As a followup to the initial LogSer post, I'm releasing this version.

It supports selecting the baud rate (via -b <rate>) and the parity (-p <string>, where string is something like 8n1, 7e2, etc).

Compilation remains the same as the original:

Downloaded as either source code or a compiled EXE from the LogSer release page under the Software section

Whois Wordpress Plugin

א' כסלו תשס"ז - November 21, 2006

Yes, yet another WordPress plugin!

This one allows you to add additional "whois" servers to the listing shown in the comment display screen. It's also quite useful (as in my case) if you have a web gateway to search through logs, which I use to help block spammers.

The plugin comes with default entries to add APNIC, whois.ws, and LAPNIC searches, in addition to the default ARIN search. Simply add a path that can perform a whois query with the IP appended via the configuration screen to add a new query.

In order for the list to appear at all, you have to modify a few WP files (since I can't add a filter / action for this). Edit the files:

  • wp-admin/edit-comments.php
  • wp-admin/moderation.php
  • wp-content/plugins/akismet/akismet.php (only if you use the akismet plugin)

and add <?php if (function_exists('print_whois')) { print_whois(get_comment_author_IP()); } ?> right after the existing printing of comment_author_IP().

You can download Whois from the whois plugin section of the Software section.

Hebrew Date v1.0.1

ט"ו מרחשון תשס"ז - November 5, 2006

Based on an idea I "borrowed" from Jacob Fresco, I've added the ability to insert the current Hebrew Date (with sunset correction!) anywhere in a theme.

Simply add <?php if (function_exists('hebrewDateCurrent')) { hebrewDateCurrent();} ?> to a theme.

The code can be downloaded Hebrew Dates release page under the Software section.

The code needs some major cleanup, but not today...

Hebrew Date 1.0.0 Released

י"ב מרחשון תשס"ז - November 2, 2006

As you may have seen earlier, I'd picked up development of the Hebrew Date plugin from KosherJava. Today, I'm officially releasing version 1.0.0. Much of the logic is rewritten, but most of the credit goes to KosherJava!

To install, download the plugin (from here),activate, and enjoy!

There are lots of fun config options under the options tab. Specifically, in order to use the sunset correction (evening dates will have the correct Hebrew date), you need to provide a latitude and longitude.

Please note that this code has only been tested on WP 2.0+. It may work on 1.5, but I'm not sure.

Serial Port Data Logging

י"א מרחשון תשס"ז - November 1, 2006

I recently needed an application to save data from a serial port to a text file. Although most terminal emulators like ProComm can handle this, it's quite a lot of overhead for such a simple task. I came up with the following solution, which works for Windows only (b/c 90% of the interesting code is the low level serial interface, it would be totally different on Linux).

The code can be downloaded as either source code or a compiled EXE from the LogSer release page under the Software section. To compile the source for yourself, simply run cl LogSer.cpp to compile with MS's Visual Studio command line compilers.

Enjoy
